Abstract
Regularity of temporal succession is not sufficient to infer a causal relationship between two acts. Regularly-occurring consummatory responses, such as eating, provide ‘time markers’ which may allow regular succession due to an internal clock to be distinguished from sequential regularity due to causal relationships between successive acts. These points are illustrated by an analysis of behavioural sequences observed in an experiment on superstitious behaviour in pigeons.
